Spectacular (QUIK REVIEW)

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2013)

**IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE TRAILER OR READ THE PLOT, THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS REVIEW THAT WILL SPOIL THE FILM FOR YOU. I simply just don't want to get black listed, IMDb are very strict.**
This film was amazing. To anyone who watched the trailer and thought, 'Oh another transformers', you are wrong. Trust me.
This film was fantastic. It gets gets straight into the film, It tells you, this is what happened on earth, it tells you about the kaiju and the Jaeger program. So its great for people who have come to the cinema to watch big robots fighting monsters, and it does a great job of doing that, even though its introduction is brief, its informative and your thrown into the situation immediately.
So now we have, Raleigh played by Charlie Hunnam, who is like the Luke skywalker of the film. Was his performance great? No but it wasn't bad either. His character wasn't given too much depth as a main character should of, apart from the opening scene which sets his characters story, I didn't really connect with the character as much as I would of liked to. Rinko Kikuchi(Forgive me If I got the name wrong) plays Mako, a tough young woman who is driven by revenge. And I must say her character was bad ass, and the performance from Rinko was pretty good(First film I have seen her in a film). But my favorite performance in the film, and yes it really is, Idris Elba. OMG I really cant believe I'm saying this but hes was fantastic. Out of all the characters he was given the most depth(Strange considering he wasn't the main character). But again hes was great, he gave a very good performance and I connected with his character more than anyone else.(We are kan-cel-in the apocalypse!!!) Last but not least, Ron pearlmon. He plays this sought of happy go lucky pimpish person and he was hilariously great.(I mean he's always great)
Now to the part why most people paid the 8/10 pounds(Or dollars for the U.S) for a ticket.
The action. Oh my goodness, and I thought I've seen enough of it, this year from Man Of steel, Iron Man 3, but clearly after this film, I did not. One thing before I continue I would just like to say, the action scenes was nothing like Transformers, the fight scenes were slightly slower so you could see clearly what was going on. Unlike transformers when at times, seemed like a big mess of metal flying everywhere.
The fight scenes were just awesome, by far the best I've seen since...(I honestly can think of anything). I mean there were great and the CGI was outstanding, like not even at one point was I like, 'Ooo that's CGI'. I new it was all CGI but It just looked authentic and convincing. And its not all the time these films do that and that's when you know that a outstanding director had directed the film. Yess, Del toro did a fantastic job on this film, really great job. And scale of the robots were enormous but Del toro did a great job with framing the action scenes well. Not at any point in the film was any of the scaling unbalanced.
I really think pacific rim is a great pop corn flick that the whole family can enjoy, with a ton of great action sequences to feel you up. I highly recommend this.
So I'm going to give this film. 4 1/2 stars. (9/10)
Of course like many films it could of still been a touch better if there was more character development but that's fine. It knows what it is and it does it brilliantly.
I am sought of new to writing reviews, I've always been not bad with analyzing and giving my opinion on films but it is a lot harder when you have to write it.(I am slowly improving, even if its the speed of a snail) So thank you so much for putting up with my bad punctuation and reading my review. And I hope you have a great time when you watch this movie.
